Biography of Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi
Introduction
Ibrahim Lodhi became the
sultan of Delhi in 1526. Ibrahim Lodi was the son of Sikandar Lodi who after
his father’s death came, to the throne, without any opposition. He was killed
in the first battle of Panipat which took place between his Empire and Babur.
Early
Life of Ibrahim Lodhi
He brought the idea of
Dual Monarchy which was suppressed by Sikandar Lodi was revived again by
Ibrahim Lodi. Doing so after many warnings and perusals he also installed
his brother Jalal Khan as the independent ruler of Jaunpur even though his
seniors did not like the idea of two brothers reining the same kingdom. Later
on, at the advice of his Wazirs about Jalal’s misconduct, Ibrahim Lodi sent
secret instructions to chief nobles and governors not to recognize Jalal Khan’s
authority. In the circumstances, Jalal Khan was compelled to leave Jaunpur and
return to Kalpi, but soon he succeeded in recovering Awadh. Jalal was killed by
Ibrahim's men and he claimed the whole empire.
Rule of
Ibrahim Lodhi
His cruelty paved the way to
rebel in various corners of his kingdom due to which he faced a number of
rebellions and secret enemies. Rana Sangram Singh,
the ruler of Mewar insulted Ibrahim by extending his empire up to
western Uttar Pradesh and threatened to attack Agra. Supported
by his prosperity against Gwalior, Ibrahim chose to overcome Mewar whose ruler
was Rana Sanga—an awesome warrior. The armed forces of Delhi met with a few
turnarounds. Ibrahim lost his distinction and asset. Unluckily for him in 1526,
one of his honorable - Daulat Khan welcomed Babur to attack India and asked for
him to take revenge from Ibrahim for their benefit. Babur reacted to his
request and set out to meet the Sultan of Delhi. On reaching Ambala, Babur
bravely planned his army without any fighting in a defensive position. For
eight days Babur waited for Ibrahim's army and when they finally reached they
were astonished by the exclusive approach implanted by Babur.
Babur's army was using the influential arms
like the Turko-Mongol bows that made things worse for Ibrahim as they were
unaware of such weapons. Regardless of having an extraordinary number of vital
points of interest the Afghans lost the fight with the Mughals. However, Ibrahim
was a courageous warrior he inspired his armed force by driving his armed force
from the front and gave his life in the war. The armed forces of Babur and
Ibrahim Lodi conflicted with one another at Panipat on April 20, 1526, and
Ibrahim notwithstanding overpowering prevalence in numbers was crushed and killed.
Thus the first battle of Panipat (1526) saw the foundation of the Mughal
kingdom in India. His tomb is situated near the Tehsil Office
in Panipat right next to the Dargah of Sufi saint Bhure Ali Shah
Kalandar.
